Last Flight

[Dave]

My last flight as a blackhawk crewchief at Drum I got to sit in the CP seat while the CW2 sat in the crew seat and I got to fly the bird. We buzzed the tower and pulled up while pushing the throttle to almost max which causes vibrations in the blades and makes a terrible noise if you are under the aircraft.

Ahh Ft. Drum... I DO NOT miss that place.

Nice pass! That had to be a little emotional..... Knowing you would (possibly) never be doing that again!

Fini Flights are always a little emotional. Hard to leave it behind.

A 130 went right over my house yesterday. I was wondering if it was you.

I waved... We were not as low as I wanted.

Awesome... make sure you let your buddy know that most slurry bomber pilots are former AF pilots, ya know, if he wants another kickass job.

Mike was one of our MAFFS pilots, now he is a lead plane pilot for the Forest Service. You would be amazed how many civilian Air Tanker Pilots have never served in the Military.

Saw that yesterday. Looked like it was coming from a buzz around pikes peak and headed to the field. The only reason I noticed was because when I looked up I saw the whole top of the aircraft and thought it odd. About 1430 or so.

Very cool

I've seen a few fini fly-bys by vipers at Hill that were pretty neat, but there's just something about a big airplane going fast at low altitude that makes them more fun to watch....very cool. Thanks for sharing Hoser....
